Swedish term or phrase: stuprör
What is stuprör in a business context?

Det här är en av de starkaste trenderna inom inköp de senaste åren och som syftar på att allt fler företag satsar på att integrera arbetsflöden, processer och funktioner i värdekedjor snarare än att se funktioner som olika stuprör.

Explanation:
In English-language business contexts, having a silo mentality means only focusing on your particular unit, department, etc. to the detriment of the organization as a whole. Different functions are seen as different silos (= stuprör in Swedish).

agree  Paul Gratwick: I agree with Ehnsio. In fact I think the Swedish is incorrect, I believe the correct Swedish word is “silo”, not “stuprör”.
